I think Piophilidae
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

Hi kurt & Dmitry,

Yes it is Piophilidae. Its even a a Parapiiphila and one of the very exciting species. Either dudai or pectininervis, but you'd need a collected male.

Kind regards,
Ectemnius

Thanks to Dmitry and Ectemnius
It seems that we have only pectiniventris and not dudai in Sweden.

Well, that is no guarantee! If you'd once set a malaisetrap on the carcass of a deer and you'll be surprised to learn what you would find in Sweden. The current knowledge is far from complete. Just look at https://biotaxa.o...a.3925.2.5 A new species described just in 2015!

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
